Landau is a large (214 km) lunar crater located in the northern hemisphere on the lunar Far Side. The feature is named after the physicist Lev Landau. The crater Wegener is attached to the northeastern rim of Landau and Frost is attached to the southeastern rim. The outer rim of Landau is heavily eroded and modified by subsequent impacts. The most notable of these is Wood, which overlays the NW rim and straddles the eastern border of Ridge Section 91 and the western side of Section 92.  Much of the floor is hilly and irregular, with only the northeast quadrant being somewhat level. There are multiple small craters and craterlets in the floor. The most intact section of the rim is in the southwest, although this is now little more than a low ridge line.
